What is the difference between logging in with ID-porten and with e-mail?
Logging in using ID-porten offers several advantages:
- Provides extra security that no one else can access your information
- Access to all the services on My page
- No need to remember the e-mail and password you have used at UDI
Services that are only available if you log in with ID-porten:
- You can see the contact information we have registered on you
- You can see information about your residency in Norway and whether you have the right to work
- You can download a PDF with a confirmation that you have legal residency and the right to work
- Future services that may simplify the application process for you
We therefore recommend that everyone who can make use of logging in with ID-porten does this. The exception may be if you are going to apply on behalf of another person.
